Defiance Meml sits in Defiance, Ohio. Field elevation is 706.9 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 12/30 is 4,199 ft asphalt, with magnetic headings of 115° and 295°. There is no control tower. Check current procedures before arrival if you need ATC support. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field is served by TAS Aviation on the field. TAS carries 100LL and Jet A+ fuel. Self-serve fuel is available 24 hours a day by credit card. Prior coordination is required for hangar. Ropes are not provided.
Runway lighting and PAPI on runway 12 are activated on CTAF. The medium intensity runway lights on 12 and 30 are preset to low intensity. Deer, birds and other wildlife are reported on and near the airport. That matters here, especially for night or low-level traffic. For clearance delivery, contact Toledo Approach. If you need after-hours lobby access, check the sign on the terminal door. This is a small non-towered field with one runway. Keep your scan tight. Verify the latest Chart Supplement before you go.
